Elderberries

Known for their health benefits and flu/cold reducing/fighting properties (https://food.news/2020-11-25-experience-the-protective-properties-wonder-fruits-elderberries.html), many people consume elderberry syrup. It can be expensive so growing your own berries is an option.

Late last winter I started growing elderberry plants from woody cuttings. Now I have a dozen shrubs 2' - 4' tall. I even got some berries! Next year's harvest should be bountiful.

If you are prepping for uncertain times, consider growing elderberry bushes.
